RODE NTG8 — a premium long shotgun microphone designed for professional film, television, and outdoor broadcast applications. With its extended interference tube, the NTG8 offers outstanding directionality, natural off-axis sound, and broadcast-grade audio quality, making it ideal for capturing clean dialogue and focused sound from a distance.
The NTG8 uses RF-bias technology to deliver exceptional resistance to moisture, humidity, and temperature variations, ensuring reliability in even the harshest environments. Its long interference tube design provides a highly directional supercardioid/lobar polar pattern, allowing precise sound capture while minimizing unwanted ambient noise. The microphone’s frequency response is smooth and extended, with clear highs and natural low end, making it perfect for outdoor film shoots, sports broadcasts, and nature recording.
Constructed from lightweight, durable aluminum and finished in matte black, the NTG8 is built to withstand professional use. It features extremely low self-noise of only 8 dBA — one of the lowest in its class — and can handle high sound pressure levels up to 124 dB SPL. Supplied with a weather-resistant aluminum storage cylinder, windshield, and RM5 mic clip, the NTG8 combines superior sound with field-ready durability.
